Dragonflies and Bamboo
Chinese brush painting on paper, 12x18 |
Today I am totally out of my box with Chinese brush painting and sumi ink! Our guest instructor for the Tri-County Art League meeting was Valda Hsu, and she had a wonderful demo! I have taken one other workshop in this technique - years ago, but she her method was more descriptive - and I was able to absorb so much more this time. I came home with pages of strokes and flowers, bamboo, butterflies and dragonflies, fireworks and leaves. Using single strokes to make each mark, the way one composes these marks - makes the painting. This was very informative - and so fun to soak up another culture with this ancient painting style! Painting number 914 in 914 days.
